Intersection register · custodian, not owner

An oral repertoire of women's songs tied to life cycles — lullabies, wedding songs, funeral laments — transmitted in the Jewish vernaculars (Ladino, Judeo-Arabic, Judeo-Malayalam, Yiddish). Long neglected, this corpus illuminates domestic life and women's role in communal memory. It has been collected by ethnomusicology since the twentieth century.
